Earth Anchor

Anchor blade for recovery vehicles

Earth Anchor

Earth Anchor is a front or rear mounted vehicle stabilisation and anchoring blade for armoured recovery vehicles. If required, it can also be designed to provide a dozing and obstacle clearance capability.

Overview

In the front and rear mounted position, Earth Anchor can be used as a stabilisation and anchoring blade for winching and craning operations.

In addition, a spade version is available for the stabilisation of self-propelled artillery.

Earth Anchor is designed to withstand the forces experienced during double-reeve winching operations. The hardened steel cutting edges give excellent performance in all ground conditions.

When not in use, the compact blade is raised and stowed close to the host vehicle hull.
